Question on Bike Storage

this would be better posted in Community or gadgets ... hopefully a mod can move it.

I don't think bicycles with hydraulic disc brakes are supposed to be store upside down. If I recall correctly it does affect the system but maybe Lorien can give you a better answer.

Upright any little bubbles can work their way up the line and require you to need to pump the brakes. In my downhill racing days, this would happen when riding the lift up
 
Got a bit of experience here as a bike mechanic- Yep, storing a bike upside down will put any bubbles in the brake lines to the worst possible spot but also if the brakes are properly bled it shouldn't cause an issue. No bubbles no problem.
